Answer:

18 cupcakes

Explanation:

If there were 90 cupcakes and 20% of the cupcakes had sprinkles on top, the number of cupcakes with sprinkles on top would be

⇒ 20% of 90 cupcakes


(20)/(100) * 90 cupcakes

⇒ (2*9) cupcakes

⇒ 18 cupcakes

Hope this helps!!!

Answer:

18 sprinkles

Explanation:

20% of 90 cupcakes

20% = 1/5

1/5 of 90

1 x 90 = 90

90 / 5 = 18
